![]() We're going to start with how to do a project updates and then we're going to do invoices. And I've got kind of a three use cases prepared for you all. You're like, oh my God, I can use this all the time. It's one of those apps that, uh, might not be so clear what it does, but once you.įigure it out or see someone do it. So I'm going to start off with what is page's diner. So, uh, yeah, let's talk a little bit about our agenda. ![]() Uh, and we're going to keep it very simple and I'm looking to lean on all of you, uh, for help in making these look much nicer. So let me know in the chat, if you've got requests, uh, if you've tried page designer and weren't able to get something, if you have any kind of things that you're hoping to do, uh, but disclaimer, terrible design. Uh, so, uh, yeah, let's kind of kick this off. And I will be asking your help to make these nice. Uh, we're going to struggle through this together. ![]() So, uh, I'm going to build a bunch of pages today. And the reason I haven't done it is because I am a terrible designer. I gotta say, this is, uh, uh, everything about page designer was a stream I've been, I've been wanting to do for a while. Uh, so yeah, I'm really excited to do this stream. Uh, so actually the first use case we're doing is a request from Ash. Uh, uh, Colleen, uh, w Ash, welcome.Īppreciate the tips before I kick this off. Uh, let me know if you're, uh, if you're new here, he, Jeremy, he Raymar UUNET hopefully I'm saying that, right. Uh, so yeah, really excited that you're all here. I'm seeing a lot of familiar faces in the chat. Hey friends, welcome to everything you can do with page designer. If I had to do it daily, I’d figure out how to automate. What I more often do is, export to csv, import into Google Sheets, and then print from there. But at least it’s possible and I gather that, once you learn how to use one of the third-party reporting tools, you can do anything you want. In my opinion, it’s a pain to have to fire up Integromat or Zapier or miniautomations just to print out a nicely formatted list of products or whatever. Second – and now I’m just repeating what was said earlier in this thread and others – Airtable’s superpower is its ability to connect with other apps. Which is a long way of saying that the Page Designer is lousy probably because Airtable’s developers have made a rational decision that the Page Designer just isn’t urgently important to their customers. But even the Luddites among the lawyers I work for are getting used to the fact that, if they have a question about a case, they can just get into the app, do a query, and get the answer – and they don’t have to send anything to the printer. Law offices no doubt continue to be the largest buyers of printers on the planet lawyers are very fond of paper. ![]() Almost nothing about Airtable makes me miss FileMaker more than having to create a nicely formatted report.įirst, we are all doing a lot less formal reporting and much less actual printing than we did say twenty years ago. It’s not just terrible for multipage reports, it’s pretty bad for one-page reports. I think that the Page Designer is one of the three or four most unsatisfactory things about Airtable. What Bill must be remembering is fact that I’ve asked a lot of questions about the Page Designer – not same thing as having contributed a lot of answers. ![]() I’m sorry that this is a detour from the main mentioned me as a resident expert on Page Designer. ![]()
